Lee; O'Brien, Michael J.; Dunnell, Robert C., ISBN 0306455374, ISBN-13 9780306455377, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Presents a critical analysis of the culture history approach as developed and practiced by North American-trained archaeologists during the first six decades of the 20th century, discussing how and why significant concepts were incorporated and looking at the overall strengths and weaknesses of culture history.
